Awakeroots is a hand-drawn game created with passion by two brothers – a programmer and an artist – set in a world inspired by Slavic folklore, where nature and magic intertwine. You take on the role of settlers – pioneers venturing into wild, mythical lands where every day is a struggle for survival. Build walls, workshops, and traps to protect your settlement from lurking dangers. Cultivate the land, harvest crops, and satisfy your people’s hunger before night falls. When darkness descends, the world becomes hostile and unforgiving – only those ready to face Slavic monsters will survive until dawn.

🧱 Build and Expand Your Settlement

Start with nothing and grow your settlement from the ground up. Construct workshops, storage buildings, and defenses. Strengthen your walls, set up traps, and prepare for attacks from both nature and the unknown.

🌲 Explore the Wild Lands
Journey through the unknown – wander across forests, swamps, and mountains, uncovering ancient relics, hidden places, and the secrets of long-forgotten tribes that once worshipped the spirits of this land. Beneath the surface lie resources, minerals, and rare stones vital for your settlement’s growth and for crafting powerful tools. The deeper you venture into the wilderness, the greater the danger – you’ll encounter older and deadlier creatures, but also wandering traders offering exotic goods and rare knowledge.

👹 Battle Slavic Monsters
Face creatures from ancient legends – Leshy, Rusalka, Południca, Utopiec, and other dark beings that haunt dense forests and forgotten ruins on the edge of the map.
